Elite status Dear gms.

in TERA PC - General Discussion
So with instance reset scrolls being given out for clearing the dungeon aka endless amounts of them. What is the point of getting elite status? The buffs - you can buy those at the npc. The double vanguard credits? hardly seems worth the gold people spend on elite status. 75k for double vanguard credits when you can hardly make money off of the crystals or other items now does not add up. As one who uses the elite status by buying it from tb in game I can see this causing issues for people that sell it and people that normally buy it(meaning less profit from a business point). It was good as it was before just change it back.

    The good thing about Elite is that it's optional and the fact that everything is accessible to F2P players is what makes it fair. The only real difference is that some things will take more time or require you to spend/lose more gold. If it's not worth it to you because this one item doesn't work on the newest instances, then you should just not get it. If a lot less people are buying it, EME will surely do something.

    As said before in similar conversations, the only benefit that really matters to those able to use it is the lack of broker fees, which can itself pay for everything else and then some. But if you don't play the broker, then the value is whatever you make of it.

    Well, I believe that the elite status was made for a wide variety of players. Things like the bonus 100% EXP, rep (for achievements), saving locations with the Travel Journal, unlimited access to teleport locations in all of TERA and even free Velik's Sanctuary Scroll for Ghillieglade. But yes, I do agree that it might need an upgrade or a change. Maybe removing gold boosters and add a Dungeon Atlas, a Flying Mount and maybe additional boosts that might make it really worth it. Though, I like using an elite status because it really impacts how I grind for gold on a day to day basis, even when I'm not max level, not paying a fee on the Trade Broker makes all the difference. At level 48, I'm able to make 62K from 1~3 days of grinding when I can only play around 3~4 hours a day. All it takes is patients and dedication, but looking on how everybodys lives are different and even play style, I can understand your frustration.
    I wish you good luck on your will to change.

    the comical thing about this is that just the no trade broker fee alone makes it worth while. and for the op that trades as much as he does and relist often. I would bet he's saving about 20k or more a day because of it XD. But ehh no point in complaining about something that emasse will more likely than not fix anyway....sighs

    True i forgot the best point I guess you are right its still worth it but i still feel that less will buy it which worries me in a tera with less population than it used to be.
